Dickey allowed two runs in eight innings of work. He struck out five and posted four 1-2-3 innings as part of his 110-pitch effort. At one point, Dickey retired seven batters in a row, giving the Bisons offense a chance to rebound from an early deficit.

Buffalo trailed 2-1 in the sixth inning with their only run coming on a bases-loaded doubleplay off the bat of Josh Thole in the second. With Mike Hessman aboard, Mike Cervenak came through with two out in the sixth when he drove a 2-0 pitch from Randor Bierd to deep left-centerfield for his second homer of the season.

The Bisons added insurance in the ninth inning thanks to the red-hot Ruben Tejada. The shortstop had two more hits, including a double that scored Andy Green all the way from first base. Tejada has now hit in five straight games with three multi-hit efforts.

John Lujan made his Triple-A debut in the bottom of the ninth and struck out two batters in his first save of the season.

BISONS NOTES:Chris Carter went 2-3 with a walk against his former team…Andy Green was 1-3 with two runs scored and has hit in all three games since been activated off the disabled list.
